Member Kors asked if there were any provisions for the crude oil plant along the <br />project area. <br />Mr. Culver stated part of the reason why this project is using concrete is because of <br />the heavy truck traffic and the heavy weight of the truck traffic. <br />Mr. Freihammer stated the pavement condition will reflect the amount of trucks in <br />the corridor, access into the properties being reflected. The one other significant <br />thing is that currently there are truck stopping lanes for the truck to pull off to the <br />side for the railroad tracks which will be eliminated. The main reason for that is in <br />order to get the pathway in there as well with the proximity of the existing tower, <br />the corridor became very tight and the County did study how much that lane was <br />used, and the lane was pretty substandard, there was not a huge acceleration lane to <br />go in and out. The decision was made to move forward without the stopping lane. <br />The corridor is fully designed for the amount of trucks in there and is probably the <br />most heavily trucked corridor in Roseville. <br />Mr. Culver noted the resurfacing project for the weekend will have some additional <br />ramp closures, particularly around Cleveland, Highway 36 and 35W ramps. Those <br />ramps will close on Friday and staff was not sure how long the ramps will be closed <br />but staff is trying to find out. <br />Mr. Culver stated the County did score the proposals for the MNPass project and <br />the award is going to go to Ames Construction, which came to $208 million. The <br />City will see some significant work on that in 2019. <br />Mr. Culver updated the Commission on City Council activities. <br />5. City Campus Solar Update <br />Mr. Culver provided a brief review and update on projects and maintenance <br />activities listed in the staff report dated September 25, 2018. <br />Member Trainor wondered if staff was going to do an annual review of the project <br />and look at how it is performing. <br />Mr. Culver stated staff will be able to monitor this in real time and generate some <br />reports as far as how much solar energy has been produced and how much the City <br />is paying. It is a little trickier with Xcel Energy rates because with the demand <br />charges the City may sometimes have to guess how much would be paid in demand <br />charges if using all electricity off the grid versus solar energy. The actual cost per <br />kilowatt hour might go down because of the solar energy use. <br />Member Trainor asked if the whole complex would be set up to use solar energy at <br />peak energy times. <br />Page 3 of 12 <br />
